a. brand a
b. brand b
c. brand c

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate return rate for Brand A

Return rate = Returns / Total sold = \( \frac{33}{686} \approx 0.0481 \)

Step2: Calculate return rate for Brand B

Return rate = \( \frac{15}{492} \approx 0.0305 \)

Step3: Calculate return rate for Brand C

Return rate = \( \frac{29}{362} \approx 0.0801 \)

Step4: Calculate return rate for Brand D

Return rate = \( \frac{32}{767} \approx 0.0417 \)

Answer:

C. Brand C
